Reformation Parliament

The Reformation Parliament was a crucial session of the English Parliament held from 1529 to 1536, during King Henry VIII’s reign. It was called to address issues surrounding the King’s desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Over its duration, the Parliament passed a series of laws that shifted religious authority from the Pope to the English crown. This process led to the English Reformation, including the creation of the Church of England, with the king as its Supreme Head. The Parliament's actions fundamentally transformed religious, political, and cultural life in England.
